We can get your home sold any time of year but come spring and summer most buyers are on the hunt and if you are ready to upgrade, downsize or just change locations we are here to help! Get your home ready to sell this summer with these helpful tips! 

1) Prepare the exterior of your home. Mow the lawn, trim the shrubs, water the plants, touch up exterior trim and repaint the front door! These are home maintenance tips that should be done routinely so it should be easy upkeep if your home is on the market! 

2) Highlight exterior living spaces! If you have a fantastic patio show it off! Deck with mountain views? Make that a centerpiece! Outdoor fireplace? Yes, please! Keep all these spaces clean and tidy so each walk through your home can be shown off! 

3) Depersonalize and declutter. You do not want to have too many personal items around your home while it is listed. You want a buyer to be able to picture themselves living there and the best way to do that is by having less around the house. If your home is on the market first thing to do, depersonalize and declutter. 

4) Stage your home to reflect the summer season! Staged homes on average sell 73% quicker than non-staged homes according to the Real Estate Staging Association. If you spend a little extra money on professional staging you can get a big return on your investment! 

5) Hire a professional! That is where we step in! If you have all the above completed let us handle the rest. We want to get your home sold fast and for top dollar.
